Conwy to Penmaenmawr and back

I was the first to arrive at Conwy, the sun was glorious but the winds were gusting I had noticed the white horses whilst travelling along the A55 at Colwyn Bay, it was registering 16 mph, yes you can never have enough gadgets.
It was an inshore wind and the plan was to go to Llaferfechan to the café so there was always a get out area if the winds increased.
Off we set with the last of the ebb, great to see some terns, the wind and tide was with us so we were pushed along , it started to get bigger and my thoughts turned to the return journey where we would also have wind over tide.
It did increase a tad so we decided to pull in at Penmaenmawr, whilst a short distance from the shore a large sea bass jumped in front, spectacular, off for a tea, coffee, hot chocolate and carrot cake for MTJ.
Back onto the water and within a few minutes a spectacular feeding display by the Terns it made the afternoon.
A hull slapping and a wet return, a good fitness session.
